Once again Albion fans march for Falmer. Initial estimates from Sussex Police suggest that up to 10,000 Albion fans descended on Brighton seafront tonight to show their support for a new stadium.

Former bosses Barry Lloyd & Steve Coppell

Among the throng were some familiar faces; former managers Barry Lloyd and Steve Coppell joined current boss Mark McGhee and the first team squad; Des Lynam and Norman Cook were in attendence, plus Albion legends Peter Ward and Gary Stevens.

Having arrived at the Brighton Centre, Albion chairman Dick Knight addressed the crowd with the aid of a police loud-hailer, ending a rousing speech with a plea to Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, "We have the love, we have the passion. Now let us consummate it with a stadium."
